Andrea Dworkin
One of the differences between marriage and prostitution is that in marriage you only have to make a deal with one man.
Andrea Dworkin
Women's fashion is a euphemism for fashion created by men for women.
Andrea Dworkin

Andrea Dworkin
The tragedy is that women so committed to survival cannot recognize that they are committing suicide.
Andrea Dworkin
While gossip among women is universally ridiculed as low and trivial, gossip among men, especially if it is about women, is called theory, or idea, or fact.
Andrea Dworkin
I have to ask you to resist, not to comply, to destroy the power men have over women, to refuse to accept it, to abhor it and to do whatever is necessary despite its cost to you to change it.
Andrea Dworkin
Feminism requires precisely what patriarchy destroys in women: unimpeachable bravery in confronting male power
Andrea Dworkin
Any man will follow any feminine looking thing down any dark alley I've always wanted to see a man beaten to a shit bloody pulp with a high-heeled shoe stuffed up his mouth, sort of the pig with the apple it would be good to put him on a serving plate but you'd need good silver.
